Indeed, it isn't.  Probably, you should file a bug report to your gcc
package maintainer.  Here's what I get (Debian GNU/Linux unstable):

    GNU CPP version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) (i386 Linux/ELF)
    #include "..." search starts here:
    #include <...> search starts here:
     /usr/local/include
     /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/include
     /usr/include
    End of search list.

Good.

Ok, so where *is* your Python.h?  You should try to locate which
package it provides, and where it lives.

I don't have much if any experience with ports.  Is it possible to
install something like 'python-dev' or 'python-devel' separately?

I don't think that would be necessary (yet); but if you want me to,
and get stuck, I would be glad to help out.  I assume that any fixes
you make for building LilyPond will be accepted by whomever maintains
the ports?
